The El Pueblo facility treats at-risk adolescents, many with developmental disabilities and mental health conditions and many under the watch of Colorado’s Department of Human Services. The facility has two so-called reflection cottages– eight-room units used to isolate teens for days, weeks and, by some accounts, even longer.
“People need to know what’s going on in there. They need to know that they’re torturing kids,” said William Montez, whose 14-year-old daughter Jasmine spent what he believes was a month secluded in one of the cottages.
